Oh!
GRIN
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Lovely.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Very lovely! (grumbles: taut, not taught)

Heh. Yeah, I stifled that same grumble.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Oh, my. It's beautiful.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I used to have a Barnes and Noble membership, when they had a store a couple of blocks from my office. The store closed (as so many are) and I dropped the membership ... for one thing, when I tried to order online, they refused to take my credit card - said that the address I had registered didn't match the billing address for my card.
Years pass and - since it takes about 45 minutes to get to an actual store and I do stop in about once a month - I got a new membership. Today I decided to try to order something online ... which was the single most frustrating experience I've had for a long time. I had to reopen the account (which was automatically set up when I got my previous membership), reset the passsword and log in ... and never got it to recognize the membership. I tried to contact them by email ... but never got past the sign in page - signed in repeatedly and it kept staying on the sign in page.
Called customer service and, after hearing a repeated message that they didn't show any orders coming from the phone I was using and a long-ish wait, got to an actual human ... who seemed to only say that the website was fine, the system was fine, so what was my problem.
Maddening.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I gave up my B&N membership for good when they charged me three times in one year for the membership fee. Getting it refunded over and over was too much effort.
